27 weeks

wow. 27 weeks. it's just flying by! from babycenter.com: - Your baby is really starting to fill up your uterus. This week he weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what he's thinking? - roo is definitely thinking about how much it loves kicking me. this week it has discovered that it can wake me up with a really solid kick :) you can even see my belly move as roo rocks and rolls in there. i was holding jeremy's stethoscope to my belly to listen to roo and it decided to kick that too! - we're getting ready to head down to wilmington, nc for the weekend - we'll get to see krissy and jeff and grammy jean :) krissy and i can compare bellies again. her's was much bigger than mine last time but mine has gotten huge over the past two weeks! - the realtor is having another open house here this weekend, after the botched attempt last weekend. not sure many house hunters will be out on memorial day weekend, but who knows. maybe we'll get some bites. we really need to get it sold soon - jeremy has to be up in boston in a matter of weeks. if nothing happens soon we need to determine plan b (renting, buying a house without selling this one, etc.) fingers crossed that it just works out!
